  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • In order to avoid future diversions between fs/compat_ioctl.c and
    drivers/tty/pty.c, define .compat_ioctl callbacks for the relevant
    tty_operations structs. Since both pty_unix98_ioctl() and
    pty_bsd_ioctl() are compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit userspace no
    special translation is required.

  • The CEC ioctls didn't have compat32 support, so they returned -ENOTTY
    when used in a 32 bit application on a 64 bit kernel.

    Since all the CEC ioctls are 32-bit compatible adding support for this
    API is trivial.

  • Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
    "All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
    branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
    had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

    Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
    switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
    of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
    cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

    One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
    lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
    called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of
    course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
    but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
    with that. I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
    changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough... I
    *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
    and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
    taken shared.

    There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
    of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
    ->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
    inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested(). To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    | This is an automated patch using
    |
    | sed 's/mutex_lock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
    | sed 's/mutex_unlock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'

    | sed 's/mutex_trylock(&\(.*\)->i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
    |
    | with a very few manual fixups
    -----

    I'm going to send that once the ->i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
    gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
    merges)"

  • This replaces all code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translated
    ioctl arguments into a in-kernel structure, then performed
    do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), with code that allocates
    data on the user stack and can call the VFS ioctl handler
    under USER_DS.

    This is done as a hardening measure because the caller
    does not know what kind of ioctl handler will be invoked,
    only that no corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists and
    what the ioctl command number is. The accidental
    invocation of an unlocked_ioctl handler that unexpectedly
    calls copy_to_user could be a severe security issue.

  • In code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translates ioctl arguments
    into a in-kernel structure, then performs sys_ioctl, possibly
    under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), this commit changes the sys_ioctl
    calls to do_ioctl calls. do_ioctl is a new function that does
    the same thing as sys_ioctl, but doesn't look up the fd again.

    This change is made to avoid (potential) security issues
    because of ioctl handlers that accept one of the ioctl
    commands I2C_FUNCS, VIDEO_GET_EVENT, MTIOCPOS, MTIOCGET,
    TIOCGSERIAL, TIOCSSERIAL, RTC_IRQP_READ, RTC_EPOCH_READ.
    This can happen for multiple reasons:

    - The ioctl command number could be reused.
    - The ioctl handler might not check the full ioctl
    command. This is e.g. true for drm_ioctl.
    - The ioctl handler is very special, e.g. cuse_file_ioctl

    The real issue is that set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is used here,
    but that's fixed in a separate commit
    "compat_ioctl: don't call do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS)".

    This change mitigates potential security issues by
    preventing a race that permits invocation of
    unlocked_ioctl handlers under KERNEL_DS through compat
    code even if a corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists.

    So far, no way has been identified to use this to damage
    kernel memory without having CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the init ns
    (with the capability, doing reads/writes at arbitrary
    kernel addresses should be easy through CUSE's ioctl
    handler with FUSE_IOCTL_UNRESTRICTED set).

  • This is needed if user space wants to know supported bnep features
    by kernel, e.g. if kernel supports sending response to bnep setup
    control message. By now there is no possibility to know supported
    features by kernel in case of bnep. Ioctls allows only to add connection,
    delete connection, get connection list, get connection info. Adding
    connection if it's possible (establishing network device connection) is
    equivalent to starting bnep session. Bnep session handles data queue of
    transmit, receive messages over bnep channel. It means that if we add
    connection the received/transmitted data will be parsed immediately. In
    case of get bnep features we want to know before session start, if we
    should leave setup data on socket queue and let kernel to handle with it,
    or in case of no setup handling support, if we should pull this message
    and handle setup response within user space.

  • All the HCI sockets and ioctl based definitions have been in a global
    header file that also includes all the HCI protocol structures. To

    and not all the protocol structures that are not needed.

  • Some fs compat system calls have unsigned long parameters instead of
    compat_ulong_t.
    In order to allow the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macro generate code that
    performs proper zero and sign extension convert all 64 bit parameters
    their corresponding 32 bit counterparts.

    compat_sys_io_getevents() is a bit different: the non-compat version
    has signed parameters for the "min_nr" and "nr" parameters while the
    compat version has unsigned parameters.
    So change this as well. For all practical purposes this shouldn't make
    any difference (doesn't fix a real bug).
    Also introduce a generic compat_aio_context_t type which can be used
    everywhere.
    The access_ok() check within compat_sys_io_getevents() got also removed
    since the non-compat sys_io_getevents() should be able to handle
    everything anyway.

  • Pull vfs update from Al Viro:

    - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
    that is moved to fs/file.c

    (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
    we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
    file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
    are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
    struct file we used to have way back).

    A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
    disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
    doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
    relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
    leak.

    - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
    there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).

    - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
    that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
    switch of fdinfo to seq_file.

    - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
    take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
    pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.

    - a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
    there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."

    Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
    simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
    interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
    vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of
